Upcoming Physics-based 'JellyCar' for iPhone
posted October 16th, 2008 2:09 PM EDT by Blake Patterson in Racing, Upcoming Games, iPhone games, iPod touch games
iPhone developer Walaber has given us a heads up on his upcoming iPhone game featuring soft-body physics, JellyCar.
Reminiscent of upcoming StuntBike for the iPhone (which is reminiscent of XMoto), JellyCar for the iPhone is a port of the developer's Windows and XBOX 360 original.
JellyCar is a driving/platforming game for both Windows and Xbox360. The game is about driving a squishy car through squishy worlds, trying to reach the exit. The game features soft body physics for all of the objects in the world. Also your car can transform for a limited time to aid progression through the level.
The initial iPhone release features 12 courses as well as a full 5-song soundtrack (or listen to tunes from your iPhone music library).
JellyCar has just been submitted to Apple and should soon be available as a free download through the iTunes App Store.
wonder what the price point will be, and how many levels
looks pretty good
This game and a lot of XBLA's offerings is really well suited for mobile devices rather than your 70" 120 Hz 4ms 1080p LCD TV. PSN's craptastic rub a dub will also work well on the iPhone, but what I would like to really see ported is PSN's The Last Guy.
@Dudehuge: Don't hate too hard on the PS3. Warhawk and Wipeout HD are my favorite games on any platform right now.
Neat. Original.
This does actually look pretty cool. I hope they hit the price point correctly, and if so, I'll be there on day one!
@blakespot
PSN's offerings are better than XBLA's, there I said it, suck it xbots.
NOOO!! I don't hate the PS3, I'm just saying that rub a dub is bad on the console
JellyCar will be free, according to the developer.
Wow, I'm surprised the dev decided to make it free, I was so ready to pay for it.
It looks very promising. And I'm loving the music
can't wait! And it's free. BOSS level 9000. Gnol si Tacgnol desu oh lawdy did I just leave that there.
hahaha! This looks great, love how the car gets squished and spat out between two cogs!
this looks more fun than iPhysics Lite
AURGH i shouldn't have read this! The next 6-8 days will be the longest of my life, as I REALLY want this game D:
any update from the dev, rRootage got accepted in one day,so maybe this will come out soon
w00t! I just downloaded this after reading the preview, it seriously rocks my socks! I'd seen this on the XBox only a week ago and was pining for it (i don't own an xbox), now i have it on my iPhone i can't put it down
Just checked the app store for it, it's definitely there now. Get it while its free because I'm sure it won't be for long.
